Other interests video

So in my constant search for a more dynamic self promotional DVD I have decided to add an "Other Interests" video to compliment it in a more personal way. My intentions were valid, I figured I wanted people who saw my reel and my videos to also get to know the man behind the camera. But when I started editing it, it sort of turned into this embarrassing comic train wreck. but oh well I can't deny it, so it stays, and honestly I think it ads a really fresh dimension to the term "self promotion",

point Broke

Back from the East Coast. got to hop in the water only to quickly retreat to skimboarding. I couldn't believe how quickly the surf broke me. Water was cold waves were big enough and I am a wimp. Got some fun pics though.
















Got some cute pics of Trev and Beckys new boy Shepard.









I shot some long exposures in the back yard got some interesting eerie results.







I love shooting in airports. Laid over in chicago this area totally reminded me of Blade Runner amazing how prophetic that film was. I love finding the cubist moments between the glass. You can tell the cubists weren't really exagerating forms as much as they were just seeing what was allready there. Tightly compressed layers of culture converging in the new industrialized urban centers. Cubism is everywhere.
















This is the closest I've ever got to a "Stock photo"

Coney Island

Last Year my sister and I went to Coney Island to take pictures and film. At the time I had just gotten my new camera and I didn't know how to shoot with it too well. Coney Island announces that it's going to close Astroland pretty regularly I am not sure to what extent it is closed at this point, but supposedly this was the last day it was open. So finally one year later I had a moment to edit something together from this footage. I used an appropriate song from God speed black emperor. Enjoy
